I totally agree with you about the dog ( and I have a dog - she's my avatar.) As good citzens we need to follow the rules for whatever places we ride in.

We joined the local club just recently so I could have more riding buddies during the week. I'd have to say it is maybe a little cliqueish but only because I'm the new kid. Overall people have been very friendly and welcoming. We're getting a lot of brand new women riders and there's a lot of support for them on the club rides - which I think is really cool.
